Abstract This study aims to investigate the changes in ocular biomechanical factors in patients with inactive thyroid eye disease (TED) who undergo orbital decompression surgery. This observational prospective study include 46 eyes of 31 patients with inactive TED undergoing orbital decompression at a tertiary university hospital from October 2021 to September 2023. All participants underwent a full ophthalmic examination, and a biomechanical examination was performed using corvis ST at baseline, 1 month, and 3 months postoperatively. The study participants had a mean age of 45 ± 11.6 years, and 58.1% of them were female. The second applanation time (A2T) increased from baseline to postoperative month 1 and continued to increase to postoperative month 3 (P
